For the third year running Stage Electrics supplied staging and lighting for the Laurence Olivier Awards, the highlight of the West End calendar, presented annually by the Society of London Theatre.
Stage Electrics provided crew together with 36 Source 4 lanterns, 4 MAC 250 Entours, 12 MAC 300s, 10 MAC 500s, 6 MAC 700s and 14 MAC 600s for the awards held on Sunday 8th March. Lighting design was by Matt Evered, the awards were project managed by Stage Electrics’ Andrew Loveday.

Stage Electrics would like to congratulate all the Olivier winners especially Howard Harrison at the Gielgud for Best Lighting Design and Paul Arditti at the Olivier for Best Sound Design.

Stage Electrics have strong links to the awards and winners, especially so in the case of Hairspray to which they supply all lighting and electrics. Hairspray broke the Laurence Olivier Award record for the most nominated single production in one year, receiving a staggering 11 nominations across 10 categories and was successful in securing the awards for four of them including Best New Musical.

Production Manager Andrew Loveday said “This is Stage Electrics’ third night in a row in the Great Room. We provided equipment for Revolution Awards on Friday 7th, Variety Club Awards on 8th and Oliver’s on Sunday 9th. We are back in the venue on Tuesday 11th with another client.”
